Wow thanks for posting this. I read through “On Being a Computer Scientist Human Being in the Time of Collapse” last night and haven’t been able to shake its suggestions. The talk seemed to explicitly intend to be depressing but I found it weirdly inspiring.
I wish an ethics class were a mandatory part of more CS curriculums. The one elective I took was easily my favorite CS class and one that I think put me down the path that has lead me to be so enthralled by permacomputing (and, by proxy, the Merveilles community). It feels like far too few engineers I meet question the things they’re building for their employers, and most worryingly, aren’t very open to the idea of beginning to do so when presented with the idea that maybe tech doesn’t solve all of our problems.
Hmm not sure if I’m missing something from Lemmy’s UI but it looks like this is just linking to the image. I think this is the article page, but correct me if I’m wrong.
Either way, added to my reading list. Thanks for sharing!!
